Well, my package was in my P.O. Box today (o.k., not in the box, because it didn't fit) but the slip was there. Many people in line to ship stuff out, but I weathered the wait, which wasn't long because the postal workers saw my slip and called me to the front of the line.

This is the third time I have participated in the mug trade. Each time has been great and I have received some pretty awesome stuff. If you have not been involved in this, I definitely recommend doing so!

This time was no exception.

I opened my package to find a note with the following message:

Happy Holidays PTD! Sorry for the late delivery. Cass aka Ocea Otica. Please find in the package:

1 mug, 1 mini bottle of Havana Club Silver, 1 Tiki Ti menu, 1 bag assorted swizzles, bar napkins, Holiday cards and and issue of Tiki News.

All I can say is "Sheebang, Wowza". The mug is #5 0f 6 Tumbuna, Soil of New Guinea. Great craftsmanship and detail and quite possibly the largest mug I know own. You may have just melted this old Grinch's heart!

Monkeys in a coconut tree and Hale Tiki Augusta Georgia cocktail napkins. Four swizzles, including one from the Hale Tiki and one from Oceanic Arts. Tiki Ti menu, which I now will have to visit, sweet Holiday cards with flaming volcano drink bowls on them, some soon to be tasted and enjoyed Havana Club Silver Dry rum, a couple of Muntiki stickers and believe it or not, my first issue of Tiki News!

Cass aka Ocea Otica, thank you so very much for your generosity and thoughfulness and Happy Holidays!

Rick, again, Mahalo brother for putting us all in the Holiday spirit!
